Panoramal Activity 2 trailer

Above is the trailer for Panoramal Activity two, I am going to analyse the trailer and say how it is different/similar to other trailer I have seen.

In Panoramal Activity two, the genre is the same as the first one, I would say that it is a supernatural film, and it has elements of horror and psychological thrillers in it. For example I would say that the bit in which she is standing in the door frame of the bathroom suggests that they have taken elements from other horror films to make the audience scared and the way that they have edited it using jump cuts, makes the audience not expect it, however when the dog is barking at something in the bathroom you can probably tell that something is going to happen so I would say that the film is sometimes a bit predictable. I would say that the Narrative of this film is also similar to the first one, in which at night, when the main character gets into bed a demon or a ghost possess her and she does weird things during the night, in the first film her boyfriend, Mica, decides to set up a video camera at the end of their bed to see what happens when she goes to sleep, I assume that the main girl character is waking up in weird places or things are going missing from their home which they share, so either it is because she is sleep walking or it is something else, so they decide to find out what is happening and this film is the result of that. The Unique Selling point (U.S.P) of this film is that it scares you, and it's very jumpy which also scares the audience. Another USP of this film is that there is someone posses, so this could draw interest from people who believe in that kind of thing, such as Psychics.
However, in this film there is no music over the top which suggests that it doesnt need the music to set the scene of the film or to give it a more creepy egde to already what the film is. I think that they decided not to put any music with it is because there are sound effects such as a bit of white noise every so often and there is a few sound effects such as a camera being turned on. There is people screaming in the cinema when they are watching the first one and I think that this film genuinley scared them. I think that the Target Audeince for this film would be Couples, who are over the age of 15 or 18, as I do not know what rating this film is. I'd say that men would probably come to see this film aswell.
Also, there is no dialogue and there is no voiceover for this film, which again just proves that the shots themselves are creepy enough to not need any music.
All of the shot types seem to be pretty much the same throughout the trailer, as they are in the last film, there is a mix of Long shots, where the camera is on at night and a few mid shots where the girl flashes up on screen when she seems to have just thrown her boyfriend into the camera. This also links with the Pace of the Trailer, the pace is very quick throught this trailer and I think this works effectivley with the shots, as they are all quick and fast paced, they have obviously been edited in a way that it keeps cutting back to show the scene of the dog in the babies room and the bathroom door is slightly ajar.
